I noticed my iTunes Cloud music wasn't working earlier. Reminded me how much better all the iCloud stuff has actually gotten over the past 2y.

I'm also getting some bad outage with Facebook's services. www.messenger.com outputs an error and the facebook website has half the components missing.

As am I.

There might be something larger going on ... amazon.com product search is down again, too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Unlikely they have their own data centers.

"Unlikely, they have their own data centers" or "Unlikely [that] they have their own data centers" ?

It doesn't matter, neither is factually correct.

Same here, but seems better now.

Migrated to FoundationDB? =)

For those wondering about context: Apple acquired FoundationDB last year. http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/24/apple-acquires-durable-data...

Timely..been trying to apply a software update and download garageband for the last hour. Should've checked their status page. Guess, i'll wait it out. Any relation between this outage and Amazon's from earlier?

Apple uses Azure and AWS for a lot of their compute. It's not unlikely that an Amazon outage could affect their systems too.

But is in the process of moving to their own datacenters:

Unlikely but a few of their datacenters are down the street from one another so could be related. We'll know when/if they tell us the cause.

They have backup power systems and multiple backbone connections.

ITunes Connect and TestFlight in particular has been an absolute shambles for at least the last 3 months. Nobody there seems to give a shit or take responsibility (ranging from support up thru to the highest levels).
